Photoshop stopped running, other CS4 programs ok

I started getting the error message "Adobe photoshop CS4 does not run under this version of the operating system" TODAY 6/20/10. The program ran correctly yesterday. Same computer, same setup, same programs. The computer is Dell Insperon 1.66GHz 2GByte, XP Home, SP3. SP3 was installed on 3/2/09 so that is not the problem. Automatic updates is on, however I don't see any updates that were done last night. Illustrator CS4 installed at the same time as photoshop runs fine. AVG is the antivirus. I tried to stop resident shield (the real time virus scanner) still got the error. Checked the virus vault. Nothing has been placed in there since March.

Under these circumstances I would reset the preferences in photoshop. To do that press and hold down the Ctrl + Sfift + Alt keys and start PS. You should get a reset window.

Using Dreamweaver CS5 with other CS4 programs

I want to purchase Dreamweaver CS5 for my work computer because it is the same version I have on my personal computer, and I want the two to be compatible. However, there are other Adobe CS4 programs on my work computer (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.). Will any problems arise by having Dreamweaver CS5 and other CS4 programs on the same computer? Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Are you intending to purchase a standalone version of Dreamweaver CS5?
Your work computer has probably got a CS4 Creative Suite installed (Design Premium CS4?).
You won't be able to upgrade Dreamweaver CS4 (from the Suite) on your work computer to standalone Dreamweaver CS5. It's not a valid upgrade path.
Tip: CS6 is due to be released very soon.
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/cs55_cs6_faqchannel.html
Although free upgrades from CS5 (purchased after 26 March 2012) are available, there is some paperwork involved. In your position, I personally prefer to wait until CS6 ships - unless CS5 is really the version you want, of course.

Photoshop stops running during HDR merge

Hello Photoshoppers
Hope some one has an answer..During the HDR merge I get a window that tells me that PS has stopped running..Click OK then PS shuts down . This is what I have on the issue so far ..Adobe chat help had me do all kinds of crazy stuff along with updates..The last session they had me download and open their sample pictures and try to merge them. I was infact able to merge them just fine. Hence since I was able to merge their sample pictures..there is no program issue as they see it... I can merge 2 of my pictures but no more than 2.. My pictures were taken with a Canon T2i , a tripod and remote shutter device was used.. The pictures all appear exactly the sam except for exposures.. (manual but not RAW) and were downloaded as JPEGS with the sd card).. All my pictures have a file size less than 6.mb. Adobe's sample pictures were all less than 1.mb (700 kb or so ) My computer is right out of the box Windows 7 ..64 bit..4gb Ram... PS preferances, Ram was increased to allow 96% for PS usage but did not resolve the issue..
Is there a file size limit that I havent read any where? Any one else experience, or know about this issue or have any ideas ? And yes I am new to this so don't beat me up too hard..Not to mention trying to navigate Windows 7 ..instead of XP
Thanks

Are you running Merge to HDR from Bridge or Photoshop? If Bridge, then either make sure Photoshop is closed before starting, or open the 64bit Photoshop and then run Merge to HDR from Bridge. I am assuming that you are running from Bridge because it is so much easier recognising the bracketed set in Bridge. I would increase the memory setting in 64bit Photoshop to something like 80% if only to prove a point - you'll know you have plenty of resources available to work the HDR that way.
To change the settings go Edit > Preferences > Performance.
What camera are you using, and how many images in the bracketed set? I use a 1DsMK3, and 1DMK4 both usually with five frames, and my old Q9550 system with 8Gb easily coped with five x 21Mb files.
All cameras that have a AEB (Auto exposure Bracketing) feature change the shutter speed, and never the aperture. A note here: I am able to change the AEB order to run from darkest through to lightest exposure, instead of the default zero offset followed by minus offset, and finally plus offset. Having the shots in exposure order makes them much easier to find in Bridge.
Incidentally, much as I love Photoshop. it comes a poor second to HDR Soft's Photomatix with HDR processing. ACR does a better job of processing the RAW files, and Photoshop is probably better at aligning the images, but Photomatix is better at the Tone mapping side of things, and keeps getting better. I am not sure if I am aloud to post this here, but 4.2 beta2 was released yesterday, and you can use it for free, but it places watermarks on the processed image

Photoshop CS4 "program error"

I am running MAC OSX 10.5.8 on a g5 and our office recently updated to CS4. For the first week, things went smoothly, now Photoshop is producing an error. "Could not complete your request because of a program error." In order to do anything in PS after I get that error, I have to Force Quit. So far it hasn't effected any other CS4 programs. I have uninstalled photoshop, then reinstalled. It worked for a few days, then started again with the error message. We have 4 machines running CS4 in our office and 2 of the 4 are having the same issue. HELP PLEASE!!! very frustrating.

Mac freezing when using Photoshop or other Adobe programs

Hey guys I'm having some issues with Photoshop and some other Adobe programs (After Effects, Premiere). These programs are on version CS6 and work fine until maybe 10-20 minutes later it freezes the whole computer. I can't move anything, it just freezes. It's only with Adobe programs, that's why I'm here.
Help?

If the whole computer freezes, you're looking at OS, hardware, or low level driver problems.
The most common cause is bad RAM. But we've also seen it caused by bad motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and power supplies.
Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere share very little code.
So what you're saying is that programs that move a lot of memory and use the GPU extensively are causing the machine to freeze.
That still means it could be the RAM, CPU, motherboard, or GPU.

InDesign stopped running

The problem is thatt as soon as I launch the program, when the loading screen appears, I get a Windows error message : "InDesign stopped running" and the program closes itself.
I already tried to uninstall and re install totally Indesign CC 2014, and nothing has changed.
This morning I worked on it without any problem. Randomly, I had a blue screen (Windows) and had to reboot my computer. From this on, I rebooted my computer, tried to open my program again, and this is when the problem occured.
Does someone has a solution?

Uninstall again, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

Can I Activate just one CS4 program alongside my CS6 programs?

I have my CS4 Design Premium currently installed on my old Macbook and my mom's iMac (for when I go home to visit my parents), and CS6 Design Standard on my new iMac, and am planning to put the other license for my CS6 onto the replacement Macbook I will be buying this week. I'd like to know whether I can uninstall/deactivate JUST Flash Professional from my mom's computer and my old laptop so I can install JUST that program on my own iMac and new Macbook. I don't want the other CS4 programs on my new computers, but I'd like to keep the InDesign and Illustrator from CS4 on my mom's computer and my old laptop for times when I'm just messing around and don't have my good computers with me. Is this possible, or do I have to deactivate the entire CS4 from one of those computers to activate Flash Professional on one of my new computers? If I DO have to do it as a package, is there any way of doing this so it doesn't mess up or overwrite (or something) my CS6 programs? Thanks!

Suites are suites. while you can selectively install apps, you cannot selectively activate/ deactivate them. What you are trying to do would be a third activation and that's simply not possible. You need to make up your mind on which machines you actually want to use your software within the two activations limit as stipulated in the EULA.

Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Opening Image - Other Adobe Programs Work

I'm at the end of my rope here.
The problem is (that has spontaneously occurred) is that Photoshop CS4 opens fine. I go to Open, select image, it loads it on screen for a few seconds ,and then I get this Photoshop has stop working and it closes out - no error codes or explanations.
I have updated.
I have reinstalled with a clean it all up program beforehand.
The Open GL drawing is disabled.
I have reset preferences.
Other Adobe programs (e.g., Premiere Pro) work fine.
Nothing particularly new or special done to computer except that I changed from AVG Antivirus to Microsoft Security Essentials.
Windows is updated (I'm Vista - 32bit).
Is the problem my driver (a NVDIA GeForce 6150 nforce 430)? It's updated to the current version, do I need to find the download for an older version and go back in time?
I have only 2GM in RAM (there's plenty of room on the hard drive btw), but I can't spend more money on this 3 yr + computer. Do I need to set my RAM preferences differently?
And I've not had this problem before, it's always worked.
To prevent me from losing my mind any further, any help would be appreciated.

If OpenGL drawing is disabled, then the video driver isn't too likely. Most of the problems in drivers show up with OpenGL drawing enabled.
But printer drivers and fonts can sometimes cause issues.
And there's always a chance that the video driver is failing at something simple (like drawing a menu or cursor).

Photoshop won't open...all other CS programs do...???

I have a new HP under a year old. I have had CS 1 installed on it since November and have not had any problems with it. The other day I went to open Photoshop and it started up like it does every time with the white box and feathers, but as it scrolls through the opening processes it stops at "Reading Text Global Resources...Done" and nothing happens after that. The program becomes non-responsive and I have to close it.
I have had this program a long time (it is CS1), but have never had any issues with it. I opened every other CS program (Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign, Acrobat, etc.) and they all run just fine. Photoshop for some reason is not cooperating and my work depends on it to.
Your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated,

There will be a event in windows event viewer. What information is in there? Can you post that?
Have you added any fonts? Any 3rd party add-ons?

Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves. Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.

Why did my CS4 Stop Running When I Installed a Trial Version of Elements?

Why did my Adobe CS4 Stop Running When I Installed a Trial Version of Elements?
I cannot use any of my purchased Adobe CS4 products. I installed a trial version of Elements and none of my licensed CS4 components will run. Please help.

So let me be sure I understand:
You can open Photoshop normally as it was before you saw the trial version?
Bridge CS6 opens, but you cannot see your pictures? Here's an easy way to check:
First reboot your computer. Photoshop CS6 should open normally, that way we know it's fixed. You can exit Photoshop
Now...
Make a shortcut to Bridge CS6 and place it on your desktop.
From Windows Explorer, drag one of your picture folders to the Bridge shortcut.
Bridge should open and show the pictures in your folder.
If it does not, get back to me and we will look at other ideas.
